View 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio Insurance Quotes

Are you tired of trying to scrape together enough money to insure your Volkswagen every month? You’re in the same situation as most other car owners.

Insurance companies such as GEICO, Progressive and Allstate all claim big savings with TV and radio ads and it is challenging if not impossible to ignore the propoganda and do the work needed to find the best deal.

Lots of discounts mean lots of savings

Companies that sell car insurance do not advertise every discount very clearly, so we took the time to find some of the best known and also the lesser-known discounts you could be receiving.

  • Accident Forgiveness – Some insurance companies permit an accident before raising your premiums if your claims history is clear prior to the accident.
  • Pay Upfront and Save – If you pay your bill all at once instead of monthly or quarterly installments you can actually save on your bill.
  • Passive Restraints – Cars that have air bags or motorized seat belts can qualify for discounts of 20% or more.
  • Paperwork-free – A handful of insurance companies give back up to $50 simply for signing online.
  • No Accidents – Claim-free drivers pay less when compared with bad drivers.
  • Theft Prevention System – Cars that have factory anti-theft systems can help prevent theft and earn discounts up to 10%.
  • Military Rewards – Being on active duty in the military can result in better rates.
  • Homeowners Discount – Simply owning a home may earn you a small savings because of the fact that having a home demonstrates responsibility.
  • Multiple Policy Discount – When you combine your home and auto insurance with the same insurance company you may earn up to 20% off your total premium.

Consumers should know that most discounts do not apply to your bottom line cost. Most only apply to individual premiums such as medical payments or collision. So even though it sounds like adding up those discounts means a free policy, companies wouldn’t make money that way.

Companies that may have these money-saving discounts may include but are not limited to:

Before buying, ask each insurance company which discounts they offer. Discounts might not be offered in every state.

Situations that might require an agent

When it comes to choosing the right insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is not a single plan that fits everyone. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s so your insurance needs to address that. For example, these questions can help discover if your insurance needs will benefit from professional help.

  • Which is better, split liability limits or combined limits?
  • Who is covered by my policy?
  • At what point should I drop full coverage?
  • Am I covered when renting a car or should I buy coverage from the car rental agency?
  • Is rental equipment covered for theft or damage?
  • Do I have coverage if my license is suspended?
  • Does coverage extend to my business vehicle?

If you’re not sure about those questions but you think they might apply to your situation then you might want to talk to a licensed insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, take a second and complete this form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area.

Don’t believe everything you hear

State Farm and Allstate continually stream television and radio advertisements. All the companies make the same claim that you’ll save big after switching your coverage to them. How does each company make the same claim?

Insurance companies can use profiling for the right customer that makes them money. For example, a driver they prefer might be over the age of 50, has no driving citations, and has great credit. Any new insured who meets those qualifications receives the best rates and is almost guaranteed to save quite a bit of money when switching.

Potential customers who do not match this ideal profile must pay a higher premium which leads to business going elsewhere. The ads state “drivers who switch” but not “drivers who get quotes” save that much. This is how insurance companies can state the savings. This illustrates why you should compare as many rates as you can. It is impossible to predict which insurance companies will provide you with the cheapest Volkswagen Cabrio insurance rates.

Car insurance coverage information

Knowing the specifics of insurance can help you determine appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy. These are typical coverages found on most insurance policies.

Coverage for medical expenses

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for expenses for EMT expenses, surgery, doctor visits, hospital visits and pain medications. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to you and your occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Auto collision coverage

Collision insurance covers damage to your Cabrio caused by collision with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision can pay for claims such as backing into a parked car, hitting a parking meter and colliding with another moving vehicle. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive insurance

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for things like hitting a deer, damage from a tornado or hurricane and damage from getting keyed. The most your insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio.

Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Auto liability insurance

This provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You might see liability limits of 25/50/25 which stand for a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability coverage protects against things such as structural damage, repair costs for stationary objects, medical services, pain and suffering and medical expenses. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but buy as large an amount as possible.

More quotes mean more savings

As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, it’s very important that you do not buy poor coverage just to save money. In too many instances, consumers will sacrifice full coverage only to find out they didn’t purchase enough coverage. Your aim should be to get the best coverage possible at the best price.

In this article, we covered many ideas to lower your 2000 Volkswagen Cabrio insurance rates. The key concept to understand is the more rate quotes you have, the higher your chance of finding lower rates. You may be surprised to find that the best prices are with a small local company. Regional companies can often provide lower rates in certain areas compared to the large companies like Progressive or GEICO.

Cheap insurance can be sourced from both online companies and also from your neighborhood agents, and you should compare price quotes from both to have the best rate selection. A few companies may not provide you the ability to get quotes online and most of the time these smaller companies sell through independent agents.
